The Ex with Ken Vandermark: Video and Audiocast Live From Monty Hall

Tuesday, November 10th, 3pm - 6pm
on Brian Turner's show
http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/BT
In case you weren't able to attend, Brian Turner's program put together a night at WFMU's Monty Hall on October 23rd headlined by The Ex (who were joined by Ken Vandermark on sax), and he'll be airing the full set on his program today at 4PM ET. But as a special bonus during the broadcast, you can simultaneously view the entire video of the set shot multi-cam that night, via Ustream linked from WFMU's home page! See Holland's greatest musical exports blow the roof off the joint in front of a full house of attendees, and while it may not be the same as "being there", you will get a pretty good idea of why this band's not-frequent-enough US tours are the stuff of legend. The Ex are in their 33rd year of existence, and listeners may remember they performed one of WFMU's 50th Anniversary shows with a full big band and an assortment of Ethiopian musicians on a colossal Lincoln Center Outdoors bill in 2008. Today, you'll see a comparatively stripped-down core lineup of Terrie Hessels, Katherina Bornefeld, Arnold DeBoer, and Andy Moor tear up the smaller confines of Monty Hall with the help of Vandermark. Tune in!

Living legend Ben Chasny (of Six Organs of Admittance, Comets On Fire) stops by for a beautiful live acoustic set and to talk about his fascinating book, "The Hexadic System." The book details an interesting new way of approaching playing the guitar using a deck of playing cards and provides inspiring and unique ideas to think about. We discuss these things and it's cool so please listen to this great show.
